TeamViewer alternative

[Walsh]

Hello, everyone!
I need your help. I've been using Teamviewer for years to assist my parents with all sorts of computer issues. However, the free version comes with limitations, so I'm currently looking for an alternative. I've heard good things about AnyDesk but haven't had a chance to test it out myself.
Any other suggestions for Windows 10? I'd appreciate any insights you can share!

Apache Guacamole is what I'd use today: Apache Guacamole™

However, when we had to choose a solution a few years ago Anydesk was the most viable (and only GDPR-conformant) solution. Works quite well and has prebuilt binaries also for FreeBSD as well as some Linux distributions. These lag (quite far...) behind the Windows binary versions, but at least they are there if that's of any concern to you.

Another alternative is Rustdesk

GitHub - rustdesk/rustdesk: An open-source remote desktop, and alternative to TeamViewer.

Dunno if you watch the "awesome open source" YouTube channel or not but he likes rustdesk as noted by rtech.

Install something like tailscale/zerotier/netbird to connect the machines, and just use the built-in remote desktop, job done
